“The GSI has taken a stride to establish and maintain a
network of continuously operating 35 permanent GPS stations in a phased manner.
So far, 22 GPS permanent stations have been set up and another 13 will be
operational by March 2020,” Director General Dinesh Gupta said on GSI’s
169th Foundation Day.

The new 13 stations will be located in Aizawl, Faridabad,
Uttarkashi, Pithoragarh, Cooch Behar, Zawar, North Andaman, Middle Andaman,
South Andaman, Ranchi, Mangalore, Imphal and Chitradurga.

“These stations are meant to delineate high strain
zones for earthquake probability, determine a seismic motion on faults that may
lead to a rupture and produce thematic maps with high positional
accuracy,” said Gupta.
